On July 10, Agustín Laje was interviewed on El Doce, where he analyzed the political landscape in Córdoba. He stated that Córdoba is "the most anti-Kirchnerist province in the country" and recalled that it was key to defeating Kirchnerism in 2015 and 2023. He also asserted that Milei will sweep the legislative elections in October.
According to Laje, the province has always been anti-Kirchnerist in national elections. "Córdoba was the only province where Alberto Fernández didn't win in 2019," he said. In that regard, he emphasized that the Córdoba vote strongly expresses rejection of the Kirchnerist model.
For the liberal leader, "Córdoba has something special." He stated that "it has always been the hard core of anti-Kirchnerism."
Milei and Córdoba: a deep political and cultural connection
Laje recalled that Milei chose Córdoba to close his presidential campaign in the second round of 2023. At that event, he appeared for the first time with Patricia Bullrich on stage, consolidating the alliance that later brought him to power. "It wasn't a coincidence; Córdoba is the mecca of anti-Kirchnerism," he concluded.
He also predicted a resounding result in October. "I believe Milei will get more than 50 points in Córdoba. The margin will be spectacular," he asserted.
He highlighted that polls already show a consolidated trend and that no provincial candidate will be able to reverse that difference. "If Schiaretti runs, he has more to lose than to gain," he explained.
From Córdoba to the world: the path of the liberal outsider
During the interview, Laje revealed that, despite having always lived in Córdoba, he had no ties to the local business community or provincial politics. "I'm not friends with anyone in Córdoba's power circles. My growth came from outside," he said.
He said that his projection began on social media and was consolidated from 2017 with conferences throughout Latin America. "Buenos Aires and other countries opened their doors to me before Córdoba did," he recalled.
